There's little to no sexual content, but it's fairly violent, bloody and profane. It's a good movie though, sort of like Training Day.

What Parents Need to Know
About Street Kings
Parents need to know that this grim Keanu Reeves crime drama isn't for kids. The story (about corrupt cops) is brutal, the action is aggressive and bloody (leaving some characters with lacerations and bandages and others graphically dead), and the "moral" is familiar and subjective. Weapons include guns, knives, and cars; characters drink, smoke, and do drugs. There's some brief heavy breathing and kissing, as well as references to prostitution and rape (concerning young kidnapped girls). Language is incessant, with the favorite term being the standard cop-movie expletive, "f--k."

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why revenge is such a popular/common plot device. What do characters typically hope to gain through revenge? Do they? Also, why do you think so many cop movies focus on police corruption? What elements tend to play into cops going "bad"? Do you think that's realistic?

Better than the reviews
Very violent and relistic cop moivie. Just caught it on cable...tons of f-bombs and other inapropriate verbage for kids. But...a really intense movie for those that like this type of movie. Whitiker and Reeves are really good in this flick.Overall much better than I was led to believe....BUT NOT FOR KIDS.

A gritty cop, crime, and corruption story for mature audiance
The language is intense, mean, ugly, and full of hate. There is 123 occurrences of the f-word, or one of its derivations. The violence is unabashedly in your face. It depicts 7 beatings and 9 murders. There are no redeeming characters in this film.
